Was AYDS diet candy linked to stroke and, perhaps, NPH??

Hi,
My mom was diagnosed with Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) and has been struggling with the condition for about 13 years since diagnosis, but our family thinks she was living it with it many years before actually being diagnosed and treated. Our family still cannot figure out what might have caused the NPH in the first place. We have many theories.
Well, the other day Mom asked for AYDS diet candy, wondered if the product was even still on the market. It was off the market by the mid '80s. I researched it and, much to my shock, found out that it contained phenylpropanolamine (PPA), a substance linked to causing hemorrhagic stroke in women.
My question: Do you know if PPA and/or hemorrhagic stroke can lead to the development or cause NPH?
Thanks!
